Principles In Play: Rotors from Sea to Sky

Principles In Play: Rotors from Sea to Sky Rotors in Relation to Torque In September’s newsletter we talked about how the right propeller selection can ensure success on those annual fishing trips. This month, things are “looking up” with a brief discussion about the rotors that provide lift and direction to helicopters. With our head office in the coastal city of Vancouver, we often see helicopters heading toward the coastal mountains or vast forests. They’re used routinely by coast guards and other search and rescue teams , including the fire-fighters who battled the forest fires that plagued us this past summer in the BC interior. Most helicopters use two types of rotors. The main rotor, located on top of the

Another Kind of Propeller Selection

Principals In Play: Propellers or Impellers Another Kind of Propeller Selection Here in West Coast Canada, many of us are preparing for the annual salmon run. Ensuring that our water crafts are driven by the right type of propeller is now front of mind. Just like putting the right impeller on a mixer, there are a number of factors to consider when selecting the right propeller to drive your boat. Terms like torque, flow and lift need to be understood. The size of the engine, the size and type of boat, plus the type of water you intend to navigate are critical factors to  evaluate. There is nothing worse than knowing where the fish are but not being able to get

Dam! Now that’s torque!

Principles in Play: Dam! Now that’s torque! How the Hoover Dam Creates Torque If you’ve ever visited the Hoover Dam, there’s no doubt that you’ll have been amazed at the size and simplicity of the outsized generators that convert hydro-electric power into electricity for the south western United States. Here’s how the US Corps of Engineers explains how the Hoover Dam works: “A hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity. The operation of a generator is based on the principles discovered by Faraday. He found that when a magnet is moved past a conductor, it causes electricity to flow. In a large generator, electromagnets are made by
